Today our leadership team had the absolute joy of hosting the RHS Class of 2029, and what a day it was!
Our future Warriors jumped right in—meeting new friends, exploring the building, and getting a taste of the incredible journey that awaits them at Rochester High School. The energy, smiles, and laughter made it clear: this group is ready to make their mark!
We’ve included a few photos to give you a glimpse of the fun and excitement from today’s kickoff.
✨ To our incoming freshmen: We hope you had just as much fun as we did. You’re already proving that the Class of 2029 is going to do amazing things.
We can’t wait to see you again at Success Conferences on Wednesday and Thursday—it’s the next step in starting your high school adventure strong.
Let’s make this year unforgettable, Warriors! 💙💛
